Texas Instruments 430BOOST-C55AUDIO1 C5000™ Audio Capacitive Touch BoosterPack is a plug-in board for the MSP430™ Value Line LaunchPad development kit. TI 430BOOST-C55AUDIO1 kit combines with LaunchPad to provide a complete reference design for capacitive touch solutions, using the capacitive touch I/O ports of select MSP430 Value Line microcontrollers (MCUs). This reference design allows designers to easily control the C5000™ ultra-low-power DSP using the MSP430 MCU for crystal clear playback and record of MP3 audio/voice files. Programmers can use the Audio BoosterPack to realize the power and efficiency of the C5000 without having to learn how to program the DSP. The combination of the lowest standby power MCU with the lowest total power DSP allows manufacturers to deliver ultra-low-power devices with extremely long battery life.
